T all whom it may concern: 1 v. I Be it known that I, Bunnn'r'rn S.BAYLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ambridge, in thecounty of Beaver an State'of Pennsylvania, have invented certain -newand useful Improvements inPaper- Holders;,and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact desuch as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it apertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to holders for holding and dispensmg rolls ofpaper, such as toilet paper and towels; and 1t consists 1n the novelconstruction and combinafully described l'is a front view In thedrawings, Figure of a paper holder constructed according to with thepinions support two sim'lar brackets 52 1s a detail view of the thisinvention. Fig. roller spindle. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 are crosssections,taken on the lines 'A-A and B-B respectively in Fig. 1.

The holder is provided with a stationary or base plate a from whichproject I). These brackets may with the base plate, if

Each desired, or they may be secure bracketis provided with an forwardly projecting slot 9, and f is a meincross-section, and it 15 forced into the roll of paperF, which isindicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 4;. Toothed pinions d are formedon or secured to of theshaft c. to the brackets b on the lower sides ofthe slots g, and theseracks are arranged in gear I The'spindlef isslid-able in a holein'the s aft 0, and it has a circumferential groove aformed in it. This shaft 0 has a notch j formed opposite the groove 2,

and h is a spring. catch secured at one en to the shaft and arranged inthe notch y. The

and when the usual has been removed.

paste-board center tube The spindle is release by retracting the springcatch, and the spindle canthen be slid longitudinally out of the shaft,so that it and the shaft can be removed from the brackets, to permit anew roll of paper to be placed on the shaft.

7 In Fig. 4 the roll is shown nearly used up. When new, the roll bearsagainst the base plate a, an the spindle; is in the middle part of theslots 9. In use, the free end portion of thepaper is pulled upon byhand, so that the shaft is revolved. The toothed, pinions run up theracks until the spindle strikes the upper ends of theslots g. The paperis then torn off, the paper of the roll being preferably perforated atsuitable intervals. The roll runs back by gravity whenever a sheet istorn from it. As the roll decreases in size, it rolls back farther, sothat its increased forward and rotary motion for its decreased size, ansheets of the same length are always torn from the roll, the deviceadapting itself automatically to the varying size of the roll. Thelocking catch is covered by the roll, so that it cannot be retracteduntil the whole of the paper has been used.

What I claim is:

In a paper holder, the combination, with tallic spindle havingcylindrical bearings at a rectangular roll shaft for engaging the itsends which are mounted'to roll and slide 7 roll of paper, said shafthaving a hole at its axis, and having a notch in one of its sides,arranged at its middle part and communieating with the said hole, .aspindleslidable in thesaid hole and having a circumferential groovewhich registers with the said notch, a spring arrange in the notch and'de of the rectangular shaft with its free end'proj ecting beyond itsopposite side and with its middle part engaging with the said groove,andmeans for supporting the said spindle and shaft, In testimony whereofI have affiXed my signature in thepresence of two witnesses.
